I don’t want to wait in line if I call two days in advance to get an appointment to “the best hospital of the country”. It’s 2025 and they still can’t arrange the queue.

The worst clinic you could possibly go to. The doctors don’t know even the most basic things, and the staff is completely incapable of scheduling even a simple appointment. And when they do manage to schedule one, you get absolutely nothing from it—just unqualified personnel who are not competent for anything. An absolute disaster of a clinic.

Liv Bona Dea Hopital and staff are wonderful! The hospital is clean and modern. The nurses are kind and professional. My surgeon, Dr. Ceyhun Isayev, answered all my questions and did a great job in every way. I have been in hospitals in the USA and in Turkey - Liv Bona Dea was a far superior experience! They have an "international patients department" which I learned about AFTER my stay. I am sure that would be helpful for those who do not know the local language. I highly recommend Liv Bona Dea and Dr. Ceyhun Isayev!

Great doctors and great service. I had ACL broken and meniscus issue on left knee. Doctor Elxan Qasimov fixed both issues in one operation and I am feeling much better now.
